Signifying the Italian love for music is a display of accordions and electric organets by Fronta-lini, from Ancona in Italy’s Adriatic Riviera, known as the accordion capital of the world.” Included in this display is an 1891 Soprani organ, in perfect playing condition.

Drawing Attention
Also drawing attention in metropolitan newspapers and on the air are an historical photograph and print display in the Doheny Library Art and Lecture Room, and a representative exhibit of Italian books in the Rare Book Room.
The historical display is a traveling Italian exhibit, stressing particularly the contributions of the Italian people to American life in our past and present.
Among the noted Italians in the display are two who have had quite a lot to do with our earliest history: Cristoforo Colombo and Amerigo Vespucci.

12-0 Vote Approves 58 Acre Increase
The Los Angeles City Council yesterday approved USC s master plan for campus development by a 12-0 vote, giving the university permission to increase the size (if the campus from its present 80 acres to 138 acres.
The vote came after a two-hour public hearing in the Council chambers in City Hail attended by many private property owners in the area and representatives of the University.
The City Council action approved a report of the City Planning Commission favoring the campus master plan.
Although USC hits the right of eminent domain—along with other universities—to acquire property by court action and pay a fair market value after appraisal, the university
has used this procedure only four times in its 81-year history, it was pointed out.
Usually, USC buys private property after personal negotiation with the owner, officials said.
The plan includes a westward extension of the western boundary of the campus to Vermont Avenue and involves parts of eight blocks.
Other boundaries of the campus would remain at Jefferson Blvd on the north. Exposition Blvd. on the south and Figueroa St. on the east.	,
Property owners present at the Council meeting said that they realized USC had to grow, but they asked how soon the university proposed to expand the western boundary cf its campus from McClintock Ave. to Vermont Ave.
No time table has been set on the expansion, the university said, since funds will have to be raised first to buy the property.
Dr. Tra&y E. Strevey, vice president for academic affairs, spoke for the university in the absence of President. Norman Topping, who is in the East on business.
USC needs room to grow to continue to meet the demands placed upon it by the Southland's expanding population- Vice President Strevey said.
“More than 225,000 persons have attended USC since the university was founded in 1880,” he said. “More than 80,000 of these men and women are graduates and more than three-fourths of them still live in this area in Los Angeles and Orange Counties,” he added.
“Our scientific research programs in medicine, physical sciences and liberal arts have contributed greatly to the betterment of mankind ” he added.
Dr. Strevey said that over the years, USC has continually served the community by educating the men and women who are now our civic and governmental leaders and also by offering cultural programs in music, art, drama and literature to the public.
“Now we need about 50 per cent more room to* increase the size of our campus in order to be able to provide still greater and finer service to the Los Angeles metropolitan area and the Southland,” he concluded.
Dr. Carl M. Franklin, USC vice president for financial affairs, also spoke in favor of the campus master plan and answered questions asked by the City Councilmen.
Introduced at the hearing were H. Leslie Hoffman, chairman of the planning committee of the Board of Trustees; Dean Robert R. Dockson of the School of Business

Interview Reveals Majority Opinion In Disapproval Over Eichmann Trial
By LUIS EUGENIO
The current trial of former Nazi Gestapo officer Adolf Eichmann in Jerusalem has caused ripples of disapproval among eight out of twelve USC students recently interviewed by the Daily Trojan.
While eight students questioned the jurisdiction of the Israeli government over the Eichmann case, two of them asserted the right of the Jew’ish people to try the ex-Nazi officer. One student took a neutral view of the controversy but criticized newspaper coverage of the trial.
Majority View The typical majority view was voiced by Serafin Lazo, graduate student in Slavic studies. “I believe that since Eichmann is being tried for war crimes, he should be tried by an international body.”
“I cannot reconcile the fact that the Israeli government is representing the entire Jewish people when the Nazi crimes had been committed long before the Israeli state was created," he said.
ished, but expressed some doubts as to whether his conviction would do anyone good.
Barbara Levenson, a junior in social studies, believed that
Of the few’ who agreed that the former Nazi officer should be punished was Marti Vander-noot. a pre-medical student, who said, “The Isi'aeli government has all the right to punish Eichmann since the whole Nazi idea was to exterminate the entire Jewish people. He should be made to wear an iron collar.”
Sensational Coverage
Fred Yutani, chemistry student, took a jibe at the metropolitan newspapers for their “sensational” coverage of the I Eichmann trial. ‘They shouldn't make a bandstand affair out of ; it,” he declared.
Another student who ques- J tioned the jurisdiction of the j Jewish government over the trial was Bruce Derwing, a Phi |
Beta Kappa. However, he found j it difficult to take a definite ! stand on the issue, commenting,

back the 6 million Jews who were killed by the Nazis.”
Miss Levenson also thought that “it would certainly be a lot better for Eichmann if he were tried by a world court since prejudice might play a role in the Jerusalem trial.”
Maryalice Herrick, a junior in international relations, had to draw a line from which she could base her judgment of the case.
“If Eichmann were to be judged for his crimes, it would be perfectly all right. But if the trial were to be used for propaganda, then I disapprove of it, she explained.

pie any good: certainly it won’t bring back all those who died in the pogrom,” Appel said.
Ashby concurred with Appel.
Jim West, a former candidate for AMS president, suggested that Eichmann be tried in a neutral country like Switzerland. “He certainly won’t be getting a fair trial in Israel, he said.
No Right
Aside from the question of jurisdiction, another case brought up was the manner in which Eichmann had been captured.
Final comment came from Richard Johnson, graduate student in mechanical engineering, who saw in the trial a form of warning to both East and West, “that crimes such as those that had been committed against the Jewish people will not go unpunished.”
